Chapter 534 No need to think about it anymore
Shen Pin only felt a "buzzing" sound in her head, as if fireworks had exploded. She didn't hear what Mrs. Shen said afterwards. Her eyes were dull and her face was filled with shock.
Mrs. Shen suddenly noticed her daughter's strangeness and waved her hand in front of her eyes: "Pin'er, why are you in a daze? Did you hear what your mother said?"
Shen Pin suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes filled with caution because he couldn't believe it.
She grabbed Madam Shen's arm, opened and closed her mouth, and asked in a trembling voice after a long while: "Mother, who did you just say came to propose marriage?"
"Mrs. Chen."
"No, who is she speaking for?" Chen Pin asked anxiously.
Madam Shen looked at her daughter in confusion and said, "The second young master of the Qiao family, the number one scholar, Qiao Yuanan."
BANG——
After receiving Mrs. Shen's affirmation, Shen Pin was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands and accidentally broke the teacup on the table. The surprise came too suddenly, making her at a loss for a moment. She only felt her chest swelling, as if something was about to overflow, with a hint of sourness mixed in with the sweetness.
She was happy that she could finally marry Qiao Yuanan as she wished.
The sour feeling is the fear that all this is as fragile as bubbles, and I don’t know when it will burst.
Shen Pin didn't know how to vent his emotions, so he stood up and walked around the room again and again. Finally, he stood in front of Mrs. Shen, grabbed her arm and asked again in disbelief.
"Mom, what you said is true, you didn't lie to me?"
"It's true, Pin'er, what's wrong with you? Although the Qiao family's foundation in the capital is a little weak, Qiao Yuanan is a good candidate for a husband. Don't rush to refuse. Mother promised Madam Chen to consider it for two days, until..."
"I will marry, mother. I am willing to marry. Where is Madam Chen? You should go and tell her that I agree to this marriage." When Shen Pin heard what Madam Chen said, he urgently pulled her up and was about to push her out.
Mrs. Shen was completely confused and looked at her daughter in bewilderment.
"Change your mind so quickly?"
Shen Pin: “Yes.”
Isn't that a bit too hasty?
Mrs. Shen was not very confident about her daughter's decision, as she had clearly refused with all her heart just a moment ago. She didn't know why she suddenly got so excited that she agreed.
Madam Shen: "There is no rush to reply to Madam Chen now. You can think about it for two days. If you still agree, I will reply to Madam Chen."
"No need to think about it anymore, just go quickly, mom." Shen Pin stamped his feet anxiously.
Madam Shen glared at her lightly and asked, "Why did you change your mind so quickly?"
Shen Pin choked, glanced at Madam Shen secretly, pursed her red lips, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
Mrs. Shen couldn't understand what was going on. She immediately looked at Shen Pin with wide eyes: "You...you and Qiao Yuanan, aren't you..."
She wanted to ask if the two of them had secretly exchanged the goods, but saying so would damage her daughter's reputation, so she swallowed it back and could only stare at Chen Pin in anger, gasping for breath in her heart.
If this is true, then Qiao Yuanan is too frivolous.
Seeing that Madam Shen was angry, Shen Pin knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Mother, what are you thinking, he and I are innocent, but I like him."
"Hiss..." Madam Shen gasped in shock, stretched out her hand and hit Shen Pin's arm, and said angrily: "Can you be more reserved as a girl? If you make things worse and get misunderstood by him, he will hate you."
Shen Pin rubbed his arm and secretly stuck out his tongue.
She didn't think that much.
"Mom, don't think too much. Go and help me accept this marriage. What if the Qiao family thinks that we are taking Qiao away and they don't want to?"
Mrs. Shen twitched her mouth fiercely: “The Qiao family doesn’t want to, but I don’t want to either.”
Chen Pin: "Mom, didn't you just say that the Qiao family and Qiao Yuanan are good?"
"Didn't you say you didn't want to get married at the beginning?"
Shen Pin choked, paused, and said: "It's not that I don't know who is proposing marriage, mother, mother, mother."
Mrs. Shen couldn't help laughing when she heard her daughter's soft and coquettish voice. After laughing, she deliberately frowned and said, "Think it through. You like Qiao Yuanan, but he may not like you that much. Maybe she asked Mrs. Chen to come to propose marriage today because you like him. It's just right for us to pave the way for him."
“Mom, he’s not that kind of person.” Shen Pin looked at Madam Shen seriously and said, “Even if he doesn’t like me that much, since he came to propose to me, he must have a good impression of me. It’s only a matter of time before he falls in love with me.”
"You." Madam Shen looked at Shen Pin helplessly and said, "Okay, I understand, but Madam Chen has already gone back. I will send someone to the Chen family to report tomorrow."
"It's not even noon yet. Mother will send someone there this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen couldn’t drink the tea in her hand anymore.
My daughter is eager to get married, what can I do as a mother?
"I know, I know."
…
After lunch, Mrs. Chen was lying on the couch talking with Chen Ruijin when she suddenly heard the maid report that someone from the Shen family had arrived.
"pass."
After the maidservant went out to fetch the person, Madam Chen quickly got down from bed, put on her shoes, and sat upright in the armchair.
Turning his head, he saw his daughter still lying there without any image, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, you are a concubine after all, don't let others laugh at you."
Chen Rujin sat up straight as she was told, but did not slump down.
As they were talking, the maid next to Madam Shen came in.
"This servant pays homage to the concubine. May the concubine be blessed."
"Meet Madam Chen."
Madam Chen raised her hand and asked her to stand up with a smile: "Mother Qin, are you coming at this time? Has your wife considered it?"
When saying this, Mrs. Chen felt a little nervous.
Didn't you say you would consider it for two days? Why did you ask someone to reply so soon?
Are you unwilling?
She was careless. She even boasted to Mrs. Qiao that she could accomplish this task.
When she was leaving, it was clear that Mrs. Shen was satisfied with the marriage.
Madam Shen frowned slightly, thinking secretly about how to reply to the Qiao family, and then she heard Madam Qin's smiling voice: "Madam asked the young lady's opinion, and she thought the second young master Qiao was very good and agreed, so she specially asked this servant to reply quickly."
"ah!"
Mrs. Chen was prepared to be rejected, but when she heard what Mother Qin said out of the blue, she was so shocked that she forgot to react.
She stared at Mother Qin blankly for a while before she came back to her senses. She smiled and said, "That's great. Since both families are interested, I'll go talk to Madam Qiao later."
There is no need to waste time. It would be a good thing for her to settle the marriage between the two families as soon as possible.
Mother Qin bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Madam Chen."
Mrs. Chen smiled and waved her hand.
After Mother Qin left, Mrs. Chen changed her clothes and went out.
Mrs. Qiao always thought that it would take a few days for the Shen family to get news. When she heard Mrs. Chen say that the Shen family agreed, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
"Mrs. Chen, you have worked so hard. I don't know how to thank you."
Mrs. Chen smiled nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't take much effort on my part to just talk."
